Ce poète hongrois s'est fait connaître pour ses analyses percutantes de l'injustice sociale et de l'angoisse existentielle. Ses vers se caractérisent par une honnêteté brute et une profonde sensibilité psychologique, explorant souvent les thèmes de la pauvreté, de la solitude et de la quête d'identité. Avec une imagerie originale et un rythme puissant, son œuvre est devenue un témoignage intemporel de la condition humaine. Sa poésie est considérée comme l'un des sommets de la littérature hongroise moderne.
This collection features poignant lyrics and elegiac poems by a renowned Hungarian poet, capturing his own sorrow and the collective plight of millions in Eastern Europe during the turbulent '20s and '30s, a time often mischaracterized as peaceful.
Attila Jozsef's extraordinary poetry is exhilarating in its power and transcends the scars of a difficult life. He is a genuinely revolutionary poet, neither simple-minded nor difficult, though his thought and imagery are complex. A deeply divided man, his poetry has a robust physicality as well as a jaunty and heroic intelligence-which is Marxist in its dedication but fueled in its audacity by both Freud and Surrealism. This new collection of his poetry includes two lengthy essays by the translators on his life and his art of poetry.
